- 3. 1. Introduction Millions of spectators all over the world watched this year Tour de France, the third largest sporting event in the world and the main bicycle racing event. In 1903 was the Tour de France the first bicycle race separated into stages. This idea to organize sequent races across France was developed by the French journalist Géo Lefèvre. On 1st July 1903 the first Tour de France started in Auberge Reveil Matin, a suburb of Paris. 60 riders attended the 6 stages with an overall length of 2428 km from Paris across the cities Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse Bordeaux and Nantes back to Paris. This year the Australian Cadal Evans won the 5500km long Tour. From an early age I was fascinated by the unbelievable efforts of the riders and the solitary fight against the extreme gradients in the Alps or the Pyrenees. The idea of my work was to create a race similar to the Tour de France for amateur rider through Munich. The Tour de Munich is divided into four stages and about 150km long. There is an award ceremony after every stage and a ceremony to appoint the winner of the Tour de Munich in front of the Feldherrenhalle. 3

- 12. 3. Closure The Tour de Munich shows the observer all the beautiful sides of munich and his surrounding areas. Especially the Isar which accompanies the riders during the whole tour is a unique natural highlight. An event like this could be easily financed by a lot of sponsors because a lot of spectators and tourists are attracted. It would be one of the largest amateur bicycle racing events in the World and a good publicity for the city. Sources : http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ 12
